New night of crossed attacks between the United States and Iran
The two states accuse each other of breaking the ceasefire
BarcelonaSaturday night to Sunday in the Middle East has been,, again, far from a ceasefire. Iran has again accused the United States of breaking the memorandum of understanding signed between the two countries to end the war, after new American bombings against facilities on the southern Iranian coast.
"These savage attacks, which constitute a flagrant violation of Article 2, paragraph 4 of the United Nations Charter, as well as an express violation of the first clause of the Memorandum of Understanding for the end of the war, demonstrate that the American regime does not grant the slightest value or credibility to its commitments," Iran has denounced.
Before, however, it was the American president, Donald Trump, who accused Iran of perpetrating a drone attack against a tanker sailing through the Strait of Hormuz and, therefore, also breaking the ceasefire. In a message published on Truth Social, Trump warned that Washington could intensify its military offensive if Tehran continues with its attacks, to the point that it "will cease to exist".
After condemning the US military response, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard responded to the bombing by launching drones and missiles against targets in Kuwait and Bahrain. It also warned that, from now on, it will act "more firmly than before" against ships it considers offenders in the Strait of Hormuz.
The European Union has also condemned the latest Iranian attacks against Bahrain and has asked Tehran to "fully comply" with the memorandum of understanding to end the war signed last week with the United States.
